His profile has been raised to the upper echelon since leaving SA. Whether it is his catch phrase, his laugh, or him beating the world devouring Warriors, people that are casually aware of the NBA now know who he is and he about to play in the country's second largest media market. His finances are fine without you…

He comes across as one of the few who do t care about the difference between “generational wealth” and “slightly more generational wealth.”

I would love if the Spurs could get Gasol somehow. He’s the Gasol we really always wanted anyway and Marc has expressed interest in going to the Spurs in the past. Hell, I would take DeMarcus on a short deal at this point. We aren’t gonna be a contender next season so let’s roll the dice a little. 

Reza’s time of death was unoffically recorded as 2:32PM, which an LA County Coroner’s Office spokeman said would be subject to further review, “Because, you know, come on.”

I would love for his editor (LOL, like that’s a thing at ESPN) to ask him to show his work. I think the vast majority of his opinions are based on his own projections and what he’s “hearing” from the other sports media personalities who comprise their own echo chamber. Let’s not forget, very few of these people are…

I can’t say I give much of a crap about soccer generally, or the USWNT (great acronym!) specifically, but holy shit this puffed-up-nerdy-blogger-bravely-defends-our-ladies-from-criticism bit is the best unintentional comedy of the summer (and, yes, I am including Bieber offering to fight Tom Cruise). Patty & Billy, we…

I think taking Stephen A. Smith at his word is essentially journalistic malpractice. He’s basically throwing second hand rumors against the wall on a daily basis. 

guess you never heard of the time when some rebellious boston people (FAHK YOU THAT’S WHY) threw all the tea into the harbor.  

Did they add future teammate medical bills to the estimated cost of his contract? An oversight, if not. 

I love that they tried to pull a Jackie Robinson “contributions to the game of basketball” reasoning on that, failing to remember that Jordan was just some asshole who was really good at basketball. 

The Miami Heat still hold the “wtf, seriously?” record for retiring Michael Jordan’s jersey...who you may recognize as both (a) someone who never played for the Heat and (b) having no direct connection to the Miami franchise.

I think the metrics are going to change on who gets numbers retired since the players that stay with a team for a long time are probably going to be in the minority. If Zion is a transcendent star and bolts New Orleans in four years I could see them retiring his number. KD won two rings and was easily the best player…

Two time finals MVP and the reason that they are not remembered as the NBAs version of the 90s Atlanta Braves is more than enough for a Jersey retirement. Didn't he also take less money to keep guys like Livingston and Iggy around?

Miami retired 23 for Michael Jordan who played 0 games on the Heat.

If it was just KD, probably right that they wouldn’t look like idiots. Worst case they are viewed as taking a shot and it didn’t pan out. They’ve gone all in on Kyrie, injured KD, and old DJ. Their young guys are going to come up for renewal before they really have cap space, and so they’ve bet the next 5+ years that…

Madoff ensnared basically the world and really has nothing to do with baseball. And Bonilla may have been the correct move, what with the time value of money. Besides, giving Bonilla about $30 million many years after buying out his remaining year, pales in comparison to Amar’e contract, etc. Hell, a rule was…

Mets have been to two World Series and an NLCS (plus two other playoff appearance) since the Knicks lost in’99. How is it even close? And what about the Jets.

The Knicks’ incompetence aside, when has an injury of that magnitude ever made a player MORE valuable? I actually think the Nets are going to look like the idiots here for putting together two of the top five biggest egos in the league. And until Durant is actually ready to play, what the hell is Irving going to do?…
